Abstract
Results are presented from measurements of the azimuthal magnetic fields within imploding multiwire tungsten arrays in the Angara-5-1 facility at currents of 2.5–4 MA. It is shown that the penetration of the magnetic field into the axial region of the wire array lags behind the discharge current pulse. The current of a precursor produced at the array axis prior to the implosion of the bulk array mass is measured. It is found that the magnetic field in the initial stage of implosion is azimuthally nonuniform. The mass distribution inside the array is calculated from the measured magnetic field.
